Hello from the aftermath.
The Thunder are down 0-2 in the first round of the playoffs to Portland. It’s not where we wanted to be.
Last night was frustrating. Here’s the good and bad from game 2, plus the next steps for game 3.
The Good
- OKC started the game going straight for Portland’s collective gullet. After the tip, OKC was extremely aggressive on the defensive end, playing with a purpose and not making silly gambles. It paid off. In the first quarter, the Thunder held the Trailblazers to 26 points, miles better than the 39 they allowed in game 1.
